Parents speak out after teen gunman kills 4 at Oregon elementary school
A teen gunman killed three children and a teacher at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, before he was killed by a bystander, police say. Kayla and Tyler Major are the parents of a child who was in school at the time of the shooting but was not injured.
CBS News
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the same basic sequence in Bend, Oregon: a teen gunman opened fire at an elementary school, killed three children and a teacher, and was then shot by someone at the scene. The AP keeps the focus on the incident itself and says the shooter was pursued into the school, while CBS News frames the story through parents speaking out and adds that one child at the school was not injured, which appears only in its extract.
